Thanks and I agree.
I've never done conduit in a whole house system though. Just single rooms. I'm pretty sure code doesn't allow for more than 180deg of turns before you provide access and while that doesn't aply to low voltage where I am, any more and friction will prevent a good pull. What are you using for longer runs that may require multiple turns? Hidden access? Access via future drywall repair? I've never tried the Carlon Flexible conduit and I think this could be a good candidate. How's that for friction on the inside?

Craig it's 360 Degrees in the Canadian Electrical Code. Most large projects spec pull boxes for communications and AV to have straight pulls through the boxes.
Basically don't use the box to change direction on a pull.
I am trying to future proof my own home and will be doing 2" conduit and using 12" x 12" boxes that I will hide in walls with access in cabinets etc. You need to get creative.
